LEARN MORE ABOUT TRAUMA INFORMED PRACTICES

Meet MARIA ISADORA FERRAO

Isadora is passionate about healing on all levels. As an ICF and CPD accredited Somatic Trauma Informed Coach she has understood how important and necessary the bottom up approach is and she likes to blend that knowledge with being an energy and sound healer and also HeartMath Coach when appropriate.

Additionally, she has certified as a Narcissistic Abuse Specialist TM and Trauma Informed Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control Practitioner.

Growing up in an outwardly functioning family and with no knowledge until recently of how certain experiences might impact attachment style, the nervous system and more, Isadora, has lived through the initial confusion of what she is helping others to heal from and with that experience comes a passion to genuinely assist with a deep empathy for her clients and their trauma.

Isadora says: "My mission is to shine brightly and courageously and share my personal experiences authentically, generously and vulnerably with a view to assisting others navigating trauma, Childhood PTSD, heal from narcissistic abuse and/or codependency and make some sense of psychosomatic issues and the grave importance of understanding and nurturing the nervous system.

Whilst my story is one of resilience it has also reached many depths in order to soar to unexpected heights and the discovering of my true self has been the biggest gift both to myself and others.

I enjoy supporting those curious enough to know more and why and how this has shaped both who they are and where they want to be."

Isadora is continually evolving, learning, growing and embracing her truest, highest, most authentic self with grace and ease.
